Our own crew cleans gutters in The Colony, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave, so you can see the clean result. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We are a gutter cleaning service with one crew, so the homeowner talks to the same people from first call to invoice. Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and we are glad to give you a number by phone or text.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge for a clean job. Gutter cleaning services priced by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the access are what really set the bill.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the work more than anything else. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and debris, which takes longer to clean out and sometimes means one more clog to chase. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. The price covers gutters and downspouts together, and we flush every downspout on the house, with debris removal included and never billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
A run that has gone a full season without attention usually sags at the middle under the buildup, and the leaves and grit have packed the drainage so tightly that water spills over the front edge in every rain. Crews clean that buildup out by hand, flush each downspout until the water flow runs clear at the outlet, and photograph every run. Clogged downspouts and a rain gutter that cannot move water away from the house are the sort of problem that turns into structural damage if it is left alone, and that is why the price covers the whole roof, not just the stretch you can see from the street.
Across the colony homes we see, the ones that look fine from the driveway often have the worst buildup at the back, where the runs are hardest to see. We handle residential and commercial work: residential properties are priced from stories and square footage, and commercial properties are priced per building. Homeowners who want the gutters clean and one number up front call us. For a house, text us a photo of the front, tell us the stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will have a number for you on the phone.

Downspouts flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled, photos of every run. The quote already has all of it in.
Our crew clears every gutter run by hand, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. Roof valleys and the area above the gutter line are blown clear first, so the next rain does not refill what was just emptied. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom; one that will not clear is worked from the top where it can be reached. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving at the outlet and tells you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Debris goes into bags and leaves with the truck. It is not blown onto the lawn, the deck or next door. The ground is left as it was found.
Before the crew leaves you get photos of every run and every downspout, before and after, on your phone, whether or not you were home. Anything the crew sees that is not a cleaning problem, a hanger pulled loose, a seam dripping, a run sitting flat, is photographed and reported, not repaired and not sold on the spot.
What can change the number, and you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice: a third story or a roof too steep to walk; gutters that have not been touched in years; guards that have to come off and go back on.
Twice a year for most houses: once after the spring seed and pollen drop, once after the last leaves fall.
Across Texas, the spring visit window runs late March to April, after seed and pollen drop. The fall visit window runs late November to December, after the last leaves have come down. Most of our customers book spring and fall, so the first visit of the year clears seed casings and the second clears the leaf load. The Colony TX gets about 39.9 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, which is when heavy rainfall finds any run still holding leaves and debris. A run that skips the fall visit can sag or pull loose once the rainwater starts in the wet season.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps the downspouts moving, because needles and grit pack the drainage between visits. A blockage at the outlet shows up first as water spilling over the front edge. Near a busy road or construction, the same schedule applies for the same reason. Few or no trees overhead, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but they do not end the need for gutter maintenance, so guarded gutters go on a longer schedule rather than no schedule. Gutter guards still need the surface cleared, and a clean trough is easier to keep flowing.
Keeping on top of this is regular gutter cleaning, which protects the roofline and the foundation by moving water away from your home. A clog that goes unnoticed through a wet spring is how most rainwater damage gets started, so the schedule matters. Ask us to clean your gutters on the schedule your lot needs, since a gutter cleaning service works well on a fixed calendar. Debris removal is part of every visit, and after the first visit we give you an estimate for the rest of the year along with the photos so you can see what changed.
Water over the edge rots the board behind the gutter first. Everything after that is slow, and slow is what a policy excludes.
The three signs. Water pouring over the front edge in rain instead of out of the downspout. A run that sags, sits low or has pulled away from the fascia. Plants growing out of the trough. Any one of them means the gutter is full.
What happens next. Water that cannot drain sits in the trough and spills behind it. The fascia board rots, then the soffit. Water backs up under the first course of shingles and shows up as a ceiling stain. Siding stains and swells. Below, the overflow cuts a channel at the foundation and finds the basement. The wet debris itself weighs enough to pull the gutter off the house. Standing water breeds mosquitoes; dry debris houses wasps. Where winters freeze, the trapped water becomes an ice dam at the eave and lifts the shingles from underneath.
Why your policy will not pay. Homeowners insurance generally does not cover water damage traced to clogged gutters. Carriers class gutter cleaning as routine maintenance, and damage from skipped maintenance as preventable neglect, which a standard policy excludes. A limb that tears a gutter off in a storm is sudden and accidental and is usually covered; a fascia board that rotted over two years is not. This is general information, not insurance advice; read your policy or ask your agent.
Guards stop leaves. They do not stop needles, seeds, grit or the paste they turn into. The job gets shorter, not gone.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often, and it is a different job: clearing what sits on top of the guard and checking that water is actually getting in, rather than scooping out the trough. Mesh and screen guards hold whole leaves off. Pine needles thread through, seed casings and pollen mat on top, roof grit settles underneath, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. The gutter is empty and the water never went in.
Guards earn their keep under big leafy trees and on roofs too high to want to climb. They do not end maintenance, whatever the installer said. Our crew lifts the panels, clears underneath, flushes the downspouts and reseats the guards; tell us what is on the house when you get the quote and it is priced as a guarded system, which usually runs shorter than an open one.
Under an hour on most houses. Nobody has to be there, and the photos arrive either way.
The crew calls the day before with an arrival window and again when they are on the way. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical home; bigger houses, steep roofs and gutters left for years run longer. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Before they arrive: side gate unlocked, cars off the driveway if runs face it, pets inside while ladders are up. Ladder stand-offs keep the ladder off the gutter lip and the siding. After: photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves, and an invoice that matches the quote.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. You hear what it is before anyone talks about money.
Still overflowing. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. If that happens after a cleaning, send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it actually is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Your house. Stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and screens and downspout extensions go back where they were.
Payment. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone. Some dates take a small booking fee to hold the slot, and you hear about it before you book.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Our gutter services cover The Colony TX and the surrounding areas, and our crew works across town rather than a single block. The colony gutter cleaning is booked the same way every time: you call or text, we price it from your stories, your square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We clean the whole run, not only the stretch you see from the driveway. Our cleaning and maintenance visits start with that number, so get your gutters on the calendar early. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home. Lead times move with the season, and we will tell you the first date we have when you call.
The two busy windows are spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months is the easiest way to get the slot you want. Regular cleanings keep the trough empty when the rain comes, and a trough kept clean between visits drains faster. A twig or a handful of seed casings can sit at a joint for months, and a homeowner who catches a leak at a seam early pays far less than one who finds it after the ceiling stains. Our crew also clears the gutter guards so the trough stays open, and we flush every downspout before the truck leaves. If your yard has heavy landscape beds under the eaves, mention it when you call, since leaves from those beds change how long the gutter takes. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with an estimate. Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before the next storm arrives, and to keep your gutters flowing through the wet season.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
